walk my dogs every day

I think this would work out more, if I took my dogs places more interesting – like the park, or on trails. Walking around my neighborhood, just feels so blah.

Well, I moved so i don’t have my dogs with me right now, and I have someone walking them everyday so I know they’re getting exercise. But I do have my brothers dogs that never get out of their dog run, so I figured I could help them out. Well, at least the smaller one. The big one is a saint bernard and he weighs twice as much as I do. So any attempt to take him for a walk would just result in me being dragged down the street.

I finally took my dog for a walk the other day. I realize how important it is for her, and now that I’ve been exercising more myself, I feel more motivated to make sure she gets her time to run around as well.

Its not everyday yet, but its the first step.

Its the end of the school year, and its all I can do to keep up and finish. This year has taken a lot out of me – consumed most of my energy and although I don’t regret it, I’ve realized how much of the rest of my life has been neglected and I know that its time to make some changes.

All 3 of my dogs got very sick this past week. One almost died and had to hospitalized for three days. The other two were stuck at the vets on IVs for one day. It just made me think of how I had been neglecting them, and if I had took the time to look after them maybe it wouldn’t have happened.

I put a lot into my job and I give a lot to others. A lot of the time I don’t get very much back. But no matter what my dogs always give to me. They are always there to love me, and cheer me up no matter what. I know now that I need to spend more time working on myself, and surrounding myself in an environment that doesn’t feel suffocating. I’m no use to anyone when my life becomes like that, and its not fair to my dogs who depend on me.

Ok, yea, I have the usual excuses. I’m not a morning person, I work all the time, I have school at nights. Bla, bla, bla. The fact is my dogs need exercise and even when I do have time, I still don’t walk them. I love my dogs, but I’m not being a very good owner right now, so my goal is to walk them every day in the morning.
